Hana Koa Brewing Co.

962 Kawaiahao Street, Honolulu, HI 96814

Yes, Hana Koa Brewing Co. is a brewery, but cocktails (and spirits) lovers can slip upstairs to Mezzanine, a spacious cocktail bar hidden inside. Bar manager Curtis Daulerio, who bartended at Pint + Jigger for years, crafts a rotating cocktail menu. Pā`ana a ka lā (Hawaiian for ‘sunshine’) showcases Nolet’s Gin with the bitter-sweet of Tempus Fugit Gran Classico, honey, Benedictine and orange bitters. He gives gin a Jungle Bird-esque nod in No Phony: a mix of gin, Campari, pineapple gomme syrup, lemon and calamansi.
